On another thing is the something I am researching, the sleepers appearing grey as the ballast looks black. Oh for a good colour photo of this type of detail!
I think it's an exaggerated effect caused by the wet sleepers reflecting the glum grey Cumberland sky.
Then there's this.
I do have other photographs of bleached out sleepers but they tend to have been taken over the last 30 years or so.
"Edit" There is a 1925 aerial image of Carricks on the Britain from Above website (registered users can zoom the images). It shows the site previous to the construction of the low building and some freshly ballasted track. See:
